Vinyasa is a steady dynamic flow of connected yoga asanas linked with breathwork in a continuous movement
Libba Harmon, certified yoga teacher and licensed acupuncturist, found yoga in the early 90's, during her days as aThai Boxer.When she decided to become a lover-not-a-fighter, Libba spent some time kicking around NYC, looking for some good asana. Being a downtown gal, Libba enjoyed the East Village yoga of years past, made sure to get in on some great visiting masters, andtaught at several downtown studios until the day she moved to Omaha, where she blossomed a busy acupuncture practice and brought sweaty NYC vinyasa to the midwest set. Libba recently spent 2 years living in Panama, where she launched Rancho Kula, a yoga/surf retreat business. Libba's style has grown into a challenging hybrid of alignment-based and playful vinyasa, with periodic opportunity to tone it down considerably. . . here or there, you might catch her teaching a slower, lower practice.

In this class, you will directly, physically experience the changes this awareness has on your true self-image! As a result, you will perform physical feats that you never imagined possible…until now!
If you can sit or stand, you can master the principles of Mirror Image and enjoy the many benefits it offers!

Having begun martial arts training in judo in 1956, Starr soon became one of the first Americans to study kung fu and was the only American student of Master W.C. Chen, one of China’s premier martial arts masters. Starr became a U.S. National Champion in 1976, the first kung fu stylist to be awarded that title. From 1991 to 1995, he served as National Chairman for the Amateur Athletic Union Chinese Martial Arts Division, which subsequently became the largest kung fu organization in the United States. Also in 1991, Starr returned from competition retirement to win the title of U.S. National Champion at the age of 42, That same year, he received the AAU's highest honor, the Presidential Leadership Award. In 1992, he was named to the Kung Fu Hall of Fame by Inside Kung Fu magazine for "Outstanding Contribution to Chinese Martial Arts." He was also named as a “living treasure” by the Creighton Asian Studies Center.
Starr has now authored four best-selling martial arts books, and as one of the foremost authorities on Chinese internal martial arts, he regularly travels throughout the U.S. and Europe to teach seminars. Together with Dr. Maorong Jiang, Starr is currently authoring a book about the new Mirror Image technique.

One of Creighton University’s best-known educators, Dr. Maorong Jiang created Creighton’s Asian Study Center, which is the most active center of its kind in the United States. Jiang devotes himself to improving the American educational system and is convinced Mirror Image is an answer.
Dec. 4 - Balancing the Chakras: Movement & Meditation Sundays 9-10am • $30/3wks
Please RSVP!
Round and round, in and out, congestion and deficiency - these are the aspects of the chakras that need to be balanced. As you learn to examine the energy body through the chakra system, you will become more aware of your energetic needs and thus aim to restore the energy centers to homeostasis. Through specific movements, visualizations, and meditations, you can learn to cultivate and hone your awareness and balance your energetic field naturally.
This class will meet for one hour each week and focus on one chakra at a time, beginning with the root and ending with the crown. Please wear comfortable clothing that allows for yoga movements. The class will offer introductory information, beginner to intermediate yoga style movements, and end with visualization & meditation on the chakra of the week.
Pillows and mats are available at the center, but feel free to bring your own. Please call in your RSVP to OM at 402-345-5078; drop-ins are also welcome.
Dec. 9-11: Intro to Body Memory Training Seminarwith Jonathan Tripodi
9am-5pm daily
A healthy, vital body is one that is free of the past. Old injuries, emotions, and fears are often stored within the body causing stress, tension, and restriction within the tissues. Body Memory Recall is a form of hands-on healing that integrates gentle forms of touch, pressure, and stretch to release old body memories and their associated body tensions. BMR significantly improves your health and function. For many, BMR has proven to be pivotal for creating lasting change.

Dec. 9 - Meditation & Mindfulness for Psychotherapistswith Richard Potter
1-4:30pm • $35 adv/$40 day of • 3.5 CEUs!
Mindfulness is entering the mainstream of psychotherapy through a variety of “mindfulness-based interventions.” From the work of Kabat-Zinn to Ron Siegel to Marsha Linehan and beyond, therapists are finding that mindfulness, and by extension the broader field of meditation, can be extremely useful as a tool in the therapist’s toolkit. However, mindfulness and meditation are most effective when therapists are well-versed in the methods of meditation and able to apply the practice of mindfulness in their own daily lives.
This seminar will explore several techniques for controlling, stilling, and mastering the therapist’s thoughts, feelings, and actions, as well as suggestions that could allow for the development of a daily practice of meditation.
Richard Potter is a clinical social worker and licensed mental health practitioner. He taught social work at Dana College for 26 years. Richard is also a senior teacher for the Sufi Order International and has been a spiritual guide and teacher for more than three decades. He is the author of Authentic Spirituality: The Direct Path to Consciousness and Spiritual Development for Beginners: A Guide for Leading a Purpose-Filled Life with Jan Potter. Richard has held classes over the years at OM.
